Vertical saw attachment for my band saw

[Frank S]

Many of my homemade tools are just a couple of pieces of scrap tacked together to accomplish my task at hand
This one is no exception a couple of years ago I was starting on my 49 chevy pickup rebuild when I noticed that I was going to need new cross-members and several other parts so Since I had to start somewhere I grabbed a couple pieces of scrap tacked them together and made an attachment for my WE Wells & sons 8x10 band saw





An extremely simple tool so simple it can hardly be classed as a tool but I've used it over and over many times. it only tales a couple seconds to clamp in the vice and I'm ready to saw

I have maybe the same saw and need to do that, have one for the HF type saw but not the bigger one.

I never had of thought of doing that!!!! Many times I've been free hand sawing on my Grizzly and sure could of used extra table for support! Thanks for the info.

How'd your 49 Chevy turn out? do you have any photos? I had a 53 GMC 3/4 to with a 283 cid under the hood for many, many years. Now trying to redo a 55 Ford F350 dually (ex-dump truck). Somebody installed a 1967 390cid in it. When I re-did the clutch a few years back, I added a flywheel from a FT motor and now run the clutch from an F700 in it. My next project is adding power brakes and redoing the electrical system. After that, I will re-install a PTO driven hydraulic system for the dump bed.

The 49 is still packed away in a dry van. Just too many other projects come up
